Hoster can't find HDZIP files

[kod]

Dale,

I've had the same problem from time to time. I have to go back and re-import the song.

The problem with that is, sometimes Hoster will not let me delete the old one. It stays in the database and causes problems. I have to find the one that works, and identify it somehow so I don't pick the bad file during a show!

Why does Hoster not import them to a KMA file?

They only go "bad" if you move them or the KMH files.
The reason for not importing any file that is already compressed (MP3, MP3+G, WMA, WMA+G, ZIP, any Video files, etc) is for two reasons. One is Hoster does not try to recompressed already compressed files. The second was to keep you from needing two large copies of those files on your computer (the original and a KMA version) thus saving space on the computer and allowing you to use those files in other programs too.
If you have moved the original files to a different location from the KMH file then Hoster will not be able to find them and will give you an error. Either put them back in the original location, or delete the KMH files and re-import from the new location.

This is not true! I had problems with one song last night that was in a folder that "had not" been moved and was added only last Wednesday! I had to import it again and it now works fine.

This is the first time this has happened to me.

I did not touch the folder it was in, but got the error message anyway. I learned the hard way, a while back, to not move them "after" they've been imported.

And, the song worked perfectly Thursday night...

Yes files on a hard drive can get corrupted if a drive has failing sectors. However the most common problem is usually that the files (original and KMH files) have been separated. Hard drives do not last forever. If you are losing files then what you need to do is run a thorough Checkdsk on the drive to make sure your files are not in failing areas.
The initial poster was not referring to one file at a time, but with all of his ZIP files. This tells me his problem is not failing files.
